Question

11 weeks and I just vomited and then fainted....

Share

Im 11 weeks now into my pregnancy. Feeling nauseas and throwing up is somewhat normal for me. But now I have gone one full week without throwing up and I feel relatively good these days. But I went to my doctors (I should point out Im in Mexico right now so everything is different) and she pirscribed a pill for me that has apparently all you need to take when your pregnant. It is just one pill and you get your folic acid, iron, vitamin C and vitamin E. All together. Well I took it about an hour ago and then 1/2 hour ago I ate some food. I just finished not only puking up everything I ate, everything i drank, and when I was getting off my knees in the bathroom I passed out, literally fainted right there on my tile floor.
I have only passed out once in my life where I had a near-death fever. So my question is what the heck just happened. this is my first baby. And my mother had amazingly awesome pregnancies all 3 times never any vomiting, nausea, or swollen problems. But not me. HELP!

Talk it over with your doctor. I'd suggest having your iron levels checked - I started fainting at around this point in my last pregnancy, and found out I was quite anemic. Started taking iron supplement (iron in the pregnancy multivit wasn't enough) and the dizziness eased & fainting stopped happening. Don't just grab your own iron tabs though - doctor needs to prescribe the right strength. It might not even be anemia... but it might. :)

i had felt the same way as you, i am 12 weeks and had recently gone almost a full week with great energy and no vomiting, but this past weekend i have gotten sick again multiple times a day. i have also had episodes of near fainting and losing my vision and my obgyn told me these were all normal and i am just having a very rough first trimester. i think the best thing is to just stay calm and contact your doctor in the morning for peace of mind, but it seems like all normal pregnancy symptoms
